Keto Grilled Pork Chops with Plums and Arugula

Recipe Description

Keto Grilled Pork Chops with Plums and Arugula is one of my favorite midweek meals. It’s really healthy and delicious. I truly believe that the only way to serve pork chops is to grill them! Something about the way the edges of the meat crisp up while remaining tender and juicy inside.

Start making this dish by marinating pork chops in red wine vinegar. While the chops do their thing, make the plum and onion topping by gently cooking them with balsamic vinegar and brown sugar. Grill the chops and set them to one side to rest. While they are resting, make the arugula salad. Serve and enjoy!

To make my version of Grilled Pork Chops with Plums and Arugula, you will need the following ingredients:

Absolutely love this. I made it for my friends last week, and they couldn't stop raving about the flavors. The sweetness of the plums complements the pork just perfectly. Super easy to make too.

Es increíble como estos chops quedan tan jugosos y repletos de sabor. Ayer hice esto en el almuerzo y mi esposa estaba flipando. La combinación con la ciruela es top

Tried these grilled pork chops last week and wow! Loved the combo of sweet plums with the juicy meat. Made it for me and the missus, and we both smashed it. Definately a recipe I'll keep on repeat!
